SONG:Time Off For Bad Behavior

I need a little time off for bad behavior
the devil in me done been asleep too long
i need a little time off for bad behavior
it looks like i've been too good for too long
David says: now being a songwriter, i wanna share this with you see. i think this is one of the coolest lines i ever wrote in my life. so i wanted to make sure you got it see. it says;
I'm up at dawn at the crack of dawn
i've been working like a regular dog
to keep my woman and the lights and the water and the phone turned on
i've been saying yes sir all day at work
i've been saying yes ma'am at home
i've been storing up the fuck you's
keepin' em under my tounge
I need a little time off for bad behavior
the devil in me done been asleep too long
i need a little time off for bad behavior
it looks like i've been too good for too long
I've had this number on my mind awhile
i've been fighting off the urge to call
pretty little stawberry blonde
with the southern draw
some good 'ol boys called from alambama
said the fish have been missing me
and i need to renew my friendship with jim beam
I need a little time off for bad behavior
the devil in me done been asleep too long
i need a little time off for bad behavior
it looks like i've been too good for too long
I need a little time off for bad behavior
the devil in me done been asleep too long
i need a little time off for bad behavior
it looks like i've been too good for too long
I need a little time off
